Scripal Alternatives

Scripal is described as 'If you’re annoyed by regex’s syntax and simply don’t like the notation, or your specific regex library is awfully slow, there are alternatives. Regex is hard to read, even one’s own expressions after some time' and is an app. There are six alternatives to Scripal for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, Mac, Google Chrome, Flathub and Windows apps. The best Scripal alternative is RegExr, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Scripal are Wildcard, iHateRegex, Regex.ai and Regex.
